General findings of dealing with bugs/glitchy gameplay

Hey all! I know most feel this game is losing steam, but its summer time and I'm ready to play some more. I recently got a couple of cheap guns so I'm trying out more 2v2 when I can. That said I am not nearly as technical as some of you who are logging into the game hub or trying to get code from Recoil. I am only pointing out some of the easy things I noticed on game day that could help some others who are less technical if it helps.

1 - Make sure you have fresh batteries. Seems like a no brainer, but I can bet some glitches come from low batteries. I always bring a screw driver and big pack of batteries in case I need to switch stuff out.

2 - Get the game hub as high as you can. The game recommends keeping it off the ground at about 3ft, but I got the best results when putting it as high as possible like on a roof or in a tree. The hub probably isnt the cheapest thing in the world, but its not nearly as good as the routers most of us have in our house that are 100 bucks or more (the whole starter set for this was about 100-130 when it came out so the hub is maybe like a 40-50 dollar router right?). Also be wary of thick or metal walls and other interference. From my experience, this game works best outdoors with light cover and the router up as high as possible.

3 - Eliminate network switching. Our smart phones are really smart. If you know 3 networks in the area, its gonna try to connect to the best one. So when you are playing this in your backyard and it tells you the hub disconnects, its likely because your phone sees your home network and thinks its way stronger (and it likely is) then the game hub and auto switches on you. Or it may even attempt to hop on an open/free network. Make sure you set your phone to ask to join network and turn off auto join known networks before you play. In more severe cases you can also just forget other networks and fund them later. I know it helped me deal with a lot of disconnection issues in my last play session.

4 - test your phone out to know how it handles the game. Some older devices have more lag than others, some need to go through an alternate connection process than doing it all in game. For instance, I use an iphone 8 and know that when I play, my order of operation is: turn on the hub and wait till its solid green, go to my settings and turn off connections to other networks, connect to the hub, make sure bluetooth is on, turn on my gun, open the app, connect my gun and I'm ready to go. Some android devices (ive found) work better at connecting the gun through their OSes bluetooth list rather than the in game bluetooth connection.

5 - test out the play-field. Sure 'the world is now game' but some areas of the world are awful for recoil. Too much interference, small play area, not enough cover, etc etc. Im sure we will all find the right place, but its warranted to know the play area that not only works best, but to know the boundaries and know dead zones where you lose hub connection. I doubt any area gives a perfect 350ft in all directions with no lag or connection issues. Except maybe an open field, but who wants to play in that?

Thats what I got for now. The biggest ones for me were: the order i started matches in per device, making sure other networks dont interfere/auto connect, and putting the router really really high. When i did that in my own neighborhood, I went from having regular disconnects from the hub to front yard and backyard (maybe 50-75ft) to walking 5 houses down the street and hitting the out of bounds area and still being able to reconnect to the hub and join back in. I still see some lag in how this reacts with crates or when i go to the 'google map' style view and walk around, but its far better than the regular disconnects. Hope this helps some people.
